2. BHS is proud to recognize its graduated students who have won distinction by
performing well on the AP exams.
We had two AP Scholars. To be considered an AP Scholar, students needed to
receive a score of 3 or higher on three or more AP tests.
Our two students who fall into this category are Jasmine Faldu and Brittany
Saxton. Congratulations. Jasmine Faldu will be attending the NJ Institute of
Technology. Her major will be Biomedical Engineering in the Honors Program.
I am sure you are all proud and excited to wish Jasmine the very best at the NJ
Institute of Technology. It is quite an achievement. Her future goals are to attend
dental school to become an orthodontist. She had many special awards and was a
very active student while she was here at Barnegat High School.
Brittany Saxton will be attending the College of New Jersey, her major is in
history. She plans to double-major in Political Science. Her future goals are to
go into law and work as an attorney.
We also had a young man named Robert Taglang who was named as an AP
Scholar with Honor. Also Lauren Miterko was named an AP Scholar with
Distinction. Lauren will be attending Quinipiac University with a major in
biology. She is looking to enter the medical and scientific field in the future. So
congratulations not only to those graduates but to all of the other Barnegat High
School graduates. I am very excited to enter the beginning of a new school year
with our new twelfth graders at Barnegat High School.
2. On August 10, 2011, just last week, the Barnegat Township School District was
the proud recipient of a piece of steel from the North Tower of the World Trade
Center – 9-11. Those of you who remember that day are equally as touched as I
was. It was very, very moving to have the steel brought in to a small crowd of
onlookers, administration, Board of Education Members, community members,
and volunteers. We are very, very grateful for the opportunity to have the 9-11
steel here in the Barnegat Township Schools and part of the Barnegat Township
Community. We are very excited to have it here. Mrs. Becker some other
comments on that.
